A week ago I made it back home to Clarion, PA in search of some much needed rest.  I had been on the road for about five and a half months. I must say it was another amazing summer in the Pyranha van! Anyway, so I’m back home. Mike, a friend that helps my dad out at the house starts talking to me about paddling the Upper Yough. The Yough is a great well known class 4 river. This is where I honed most of my creeking skills as a younger paddler. Knowing Mike as a strong fired up dude, I looked over at the Pyranha van, and thought ….. yes this will be a great test for the new Shiva. Knowing how user friendly the Shiva is I was confident that Mike would have a great day on the Upper Yough. This was Mike’s first time in a creek boat and first time on something as difficult as the Upper Yough. Mike did not even flip over! Click here to watch Mike paddle the Upper Yough!
